Announcing Events: A New Kajabi Building Block

We’ve been alluding to this moment for a while during our Ascender cycle, and we’re finally ready to lift the curtain. You can say we saved the best for last ;-)

Today’s update isn’t just a new shiny new feature addition, it’s an entirely new building block inside the Kajabi platform!

Introducing…

Events.

The Events building block is a brand new way to build out and market any kind of event through Kajabi. Whether that's a live video training, a virtual conference, pre-recorded webinar, everything you need to make your event happen AND make it a huge success is here.

And because Events are a building block, it's going to interact with existing Kajabi elements in exciting, new ways.

The Anatomy of Events

At its core, an Event is a date and time with a sequence of emails that revolve around it.

For example, let’s say you have an event next Thursday @ 10:00am. You could have autoresponder emails that lead up to that event and get your audience pumped.

One email could be sent out a day before the event begins to remind your audience.

Another email could go out 10 minutes before the event starts.

After the event is over, another email could be sent out.

Really, the possibilities are limitless.

This isn’t just a beefed-up autoresponder sequence… Because it is a building block there are going to be so many different ways that you can use the Event.

Pipelines + Events = Live Marketing Made Push-Button Simple

… Such as Pipelines.

Events will work seamlessly with Pipelines!

We’re going to have Pipeline Blueprints with pre-built Events for you. You’re going to be able to choose an Event template that suits you, and with the click of a button, you’ll have everything you need to run that Event built out!

Here are the three Pipeline Blueprints that you’ll be able to get your hands on soon...

Webinar Pipeline Blueprint

This blueprint will let you have pre-recorded or live webinars...

That’s right, Kajabi is officially going to be offering Webinars now!

When you create this blueprint, it will ask you what the date and time is of the webinar, and then with a click of the button, it will build out everything you need.

All your pages (registration page, thank you page, and live page) will be generated so you just need to add your own branding. All of your email reminders will also be created to direct your audience to the webinar.

Webinars are one of the most powerful ways to market yourself and your brand today, and we’re so excited to give you the tools that will help you massively grow your Kajabi site.

Live Event Blueprint

Got a live event, either in person or online, you plan to host in the future? There’s a Blueprint for this, too!

With the Live Event Pipeline, we’ve made it possible for you to, in just a few clicks, build excitement and get paid attendees to any upcoming event.

Virtual Summit Blueprint

This blueprint gives you the power to easily run a virtual summit!

With all the pages you need to make it happen, you’ll be able to deliver the experience of a live conference right through your audience’s computer screen. You can even invite guest trainers or run the whole thing yourself!

Brand New Widgets

Pipeline Blueprints aren’t the only way that Events are going to interact with Kajabi elements.

In the Premier landing page builder, there are going to be new widgets that can be tied to your events.

Countdown Timer Widget

One such widget is a brand new countdown timer.

In the past, you could set countdown timers anywhere on your Kajabi pages, but now your countdown timers can be tied to specific events and the timer will reflect that!

There will also be some actions around that timer (e.g., what should happen to your page when the timer runs out?).

Event Videos

This widget is essentially a video player based on the time of an event.

Leading up to your event, you can have a video on your Live page that shows the countdown timer on the event. When the event starts, the video will automatically play!

Sell Your Events

You can also attach events to offers!

What means is that you can actually sell and get paid for any event you do, or even attach Events to existing Offers!

Sneak Preview: Nomad

We know this is a lot to digest, but we want to give you a sneak preview of what’s to come for events during our next cycle, Nomad.

In the future, we’re going to add the ability for an Event to repeat on an interval.

Instead of having an event occur only once, we’re going to make it so events can repeat themselves. That means you can have an event repeat itself every day, every week, or every 15 minutes!

Now, your head might be swirling with the possibilities and with this all means, but this means, YES! You will eventually be able to run Evergreen Webinars!

We can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with events, and we’re excited to see the sort of impact they will have on your online business.

The best part is that all of these new additions are going to be FREE. You won't have to pay a dime to get access to any of these.

*IMPORTANT* Look for these updates in your account soon. We’ll be rolling Events slowly in the future starting in groups to make sure everything works perfectly.
